How are the career development opportunities at Edgewell Personal Care?

Lots of opportunities to grow and develop Positive team environment that rewards accountability and teamwork

Could always do with more recourses

Compensation - pay premium for seasoned professionals People are the heartbeat of the company (personal relationships matter) Benefits are industry standard Flexibility - half day Friday's all year; flexible time off (unlimited PTO); remote work pending location

Lack of brand strategy within the portfolio Pulling back investment to support brands to show EPS performance No career development or career planning - just paperwork exercise Complete chaos right now after the reorganization - July 2025

•good coworkers who actually make the job bearable.

Misleading Interviews – The job description and interview process didn’t match the actual role. • Unqualified People Overlooked – Qualified candidates were passed over for promotions or roles in favor of less experienced hires. • Flaky, Two-Faced Management – Some managers pretend to be supportive but switch up depending on who’s in the room. Favoritism runs deep. • Condescending & Dismissive Leadership – Certain managers act like employees are beneath them, ignoring ideas and shutting down feedback instead of fostering a productive work environment. • Terrible Pay – Compensation does not match the workload or industry standards. Raises and promotions are rare, if ever. • Lack of Transparency – Decisions feel arbitrary, and communication about career growth or workplace policies is poor.

Cool Brands Good Products Interesting

People in head of department roles with no idea what peoples actual jobs are. Head of BU's who on day one said "I do not celebrate team wins." Boosts about career growth but does not actually give anyone the opportunity for that.

At least in IT you meet some solid people who are very supportive. I got what I'm sure is a rare opportunity which was I got to bounce around different teams (within IT) when I was transitioning positions and got to learn a lot before settling on ServiceNow. I was fully remote when I left which I personally consider a huge benefit, but not sure if they are hybrid now. Product discounts on their brands in an in-office store. Edgewell runs pretty lean as a company and I'd say this leans more positive than negative. 401k match was solid. For my position specifically I had a great work life balance.

Pay is not great. When I left I immediately got $10k+ more for the same job and within a year got a promotion and additional pay bump that I'm sure I would never get at Edgewell. Little to no quality marketing of products. Edgewell has brands that want bigger market shares and it's very rare I see them advertised anywhere. Development opportunities were basically non-existent. I switched to ServiceNow because it's the closest thing I could get to programming while there. (Obviously this isn't important to everyone) Complacency. We had a guy work there for a while and when people would give him a hard time about doing something wrong or not doing enough to fix a problem he would say, "It's Edgewell, man." and while it was a joke for a long time it did have some truth to it as the general feeling in the company. In IT I met some highly motivated people who worked long hours and sometimes on the weekend to get things done the right way. But throughout the company (all departments) you would meet people who basically did nothing, would complain about everything, and were in general grinding their life away because they had no real skills and no desire to learn any. The problem with these people is they are infectious and drag other people down to their level. I'm a motivated person so complacency drives me crazy. Something else I am is brand loyal. When you work there you get solid discounts on a range of the products of companies they own. Aside from that why would you buy their stuff? Don't know. Friends would often ask me "are Schick razors really any better than other brands? Why shouldn't I just get cheaper online brands? Does sunscreen really expire when it says on the bottle? JackBlack is a high end brand but is the quality that much better?" Don't know. Sure these are things I could look up but why don't I know to this day what makes their razors, sunscreen, lotions, etc any better than anyone else? And because of this I left with no pride left in the company. Because of the people who I know who still work there I will continue to buy their products and while I put up with a lot while working there they did give me my first job out of college. I wouldn't trade the memories but I wouldn't work there again.

Great culture and put people first.

Limited development opportunities are provided.

Genuinely want you to learn and improve. They will train you as you go. Great for those first starting in the industry. About 5 weeks of FTO plus all government holidays. Great work life balance

Lower salary than most companies in the same industry Not many promotional opportunities so it’s very competitive. There’s favoritism for these promotions and aren’t merit based.

Work life balance Training Progression Management are all so lovely and supportive, even though it’s a global company it feels like a real family, I loved my time with Edgewell

Nothing, my experience with Edgewell was so refreshing
